Are ILA peoples are sleeping??????????

Whether Indian Library Association members and Administrators are sleeping?? This question will came into your mind if you tried & tired when you click http://www.ila-india.org/. I asked this question in LIS forum. i think the ILA not working properly as the name was. If Indian Library Association doesn't maintain a website in the electronic era, what should it seeks, i think ILA used only for political purpose. According to some south India based Librarians, ILA is Delhi politics based librarians group, we never found any representation on that. So we don't believe ILA will be front runner in Library movement in India.
Now, I can say ILA should be reinstalled. We must delete some corrupted file and update new. Windows 98 or Dos version is suitable for ILA, XP/VISTA/LINUX we must think of it. Older people on the organization, if they are not ready to accept the change just backspaced from the authority and they should be insert key for young librarians.
Not only ILA it belongs to MLAI because they also don't have any websites. Let us bring "Dhoni Mania" in Library Associations, Library movements in India. : CONTRIBUTED BY ONE OF THE AUTHORS OF THIS BLOG viz thimms
